hahaha, hell yes, 201 million, cash option atfer full 35% tax rate= 83m atfer tax's , dude you could so spoil your self silly with such amounts.

and the sad part is i already know how to spend it/invest it all, sense that darn 240m cash, 380 jackpot we just had, given me plenty to think about how to spend such insane amounts.

if it keeps rolling , i think it be safe call it to just above 200m if it rolls over, , then just about 243 -250m ish,

i freaking knew it, also people, remb this... [ More ]

Well that's nice of you kyokushin.

OK, you can split it with me if you win.

I would actually prefer to split a jackpot of this size. Not only do you still get a large amount ($35 million) but you also get to split the attention to someone else as well. And if they claim with no safeguards (unlike myself claiming with a trust) then most likely the main attention will be on the other people. Plus it helps spread the wealth.

I'd even take the second or third prize, as something recently came up and could really use the extra cash.

Thank you, Louise!

I'll take that whiskey and a Greyhound ticket to Grand Rapids and me and you'll go out and tie one on and bust that town wide open! We'll pick up sully and CutlassBob and all the other Michiganders too.

Just one thing though Louise, is one little rule I insist upon when we go out and tear it up: We ain't leavin' til we're heavin' and pukin' in the parkin' lot

You know...this reminds me of when something wonderfully shocking happened to my husband and me. Other people were constantly commenting on how reserved we seemed. Afterwards, we realized we were in shock, but a happy shock.

I wouldn't mind repeating this with a large lottery win

mightwin — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:18:53 GMT

I would like to see it keep on rollin, but for some reason I think it is going to mimick the May 4, 2010 run if it rolls. Taking its sweet time to get up there.

May 4 $266 million

April 30 $224 million

April 27 $ 191 million

April 23 $166 million

If Alaska ever started selling MM tickets it would be more likely someone from there would win.

Comment #17

s5thomps — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 18:35:58 GMT

I think it is about time that someone from Alaska wins the Mega millions! So I said to myself why not me. I have a dog in this race. Then let ridgerunner win the next big jackpot, followed by Coin Toss. I need a nice pain free retirement.

That would definitely be the right thing to do if you win a jackpot in a state that allows anonymity.

172 million, nice number.

That's right sandia, a dollar and a dream, that's all it takes.

Pay attention to them dreams and random thoughts too.

My people are called thinkers of thoughts and dreamers of dreams and I add one more quality to that in a very real and visceral sense: drinker of whiskey.

sandia — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 02:53:53 GMT

Thank you rdgrnr, last year's jackpot got me very interested! Well, since you put it that way (splitting the jackpot), then I am more excited about this game, it only takes a dollar and a dream, right?

****Dreams are the windows to our fears and our desires, I like to go with the desires

ttech10 — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 02:25:54 GMT

I've loved that video since I saw it, we actually get to see how people respond to learning they've won (for sure) and how others they know act. I think if I was him, when the lottery official was confirming the numbers and they were all matching, it would just be so surreal and I'd feel like I was about to wake up (I've actually had dreams where I've won and I've told myself within the dream this has to be a dream, I'm not this lucky to have really won, I just need to wake up and I actually wok...

Well it's time you started playing, sandia!

Welcome to Lottery Post.

If it will help you relax and feel more comfortable playing, I'll split the pot with you when you win.

Best of Luck sandia

I was thinking maybe I should contact Chillicothe attorney Deborah Barrington and Columbus attorney Ronald Rowland to start making plans. https://www.lotterypost.com/news/194766

PERDUE — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 22:35:29 GMT

When the jackpot reaches $342 million, call me @ 631-403-2022.

That is the time when I will throw my hat into the ring with the only winning ticket for that drawing.

I HAVE 5 CHANCES TO HIT THE TARGET. If chris shaw did it in powerball, why not me.LUCKY $5 DOLLAR BILL.

rdgrnr — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:44:36 GMT

I foresee only two possible outcomes:

1) It'll roll to over 200 million

or

2) It'll be won by some peckerwood in the backwoods of Tennessee

$172 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot rolls

Lottery Post — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 20:02:33 GMT

By Todd Northrop

Will an incredibly lucky lottery player win a life-changing windfall this week, or will the multi-state Mega Millions lottery game enter another round of $200+ million jackpots?

We'll find out Tuesday night, when the $172 million Mega Millions drawing takes place.

Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot is the accumulation of 11 consecutive drawings without a top prize winner. The current jackpot run-up started on Feb. 4 as a $12 million grand prize.
